The first Cocoa Fun Run is a 5K (3.1 mile) and a one mile run to he|p raise funds to support Believe Guatemala and spread God’s word to all the nations.
Come and help support the organization. There will be music, hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies and much more, which is sponsored by Powers Funeral Home, Creston Baptist Church, R.E. Lewis Refrigeration and Farmers All Risk Crop Insurance.
Both races will start 8 a.m. Nov. 7 in the YMCA parking lot in Creston. Each pre-registered participant will receive a T-shirt. After Oct. 16, T-shirts are not guaranteed, but will be given as supplies last. T-shirts will be made in Guatemala to help support the Guatemalan people, so shirts will need to be ordered earlier than usual. Awards will be given to the top three females and the top three males in the 5K fun run. Packet pickup will be the day of the race from 7 to 7:50 a.m. Nov. 7. Same day registration will also be available at 7 a.m.
All proceeds from the Believe Guatemala Cocoa Fun Run will be used to fund future mission trips and to help provide for the needs of the people in Guatemala.
